Nacho."Mary didn't like it very much but had to settle for the silver medal.Melissa approached wearing a modest yet elegant swimsuit, made by Vasconcelos Fabrics."And how are the kids behaving? Were the swimming lessons worth it?" She asked, sitting on the lounge chair next to them."Speaking of swimming lessons made me remember Claudio Guzman." Josias smiled."I wonder how he's doing in Europe." Melissa narrows her eyes."Probably making those movies that won't come to Brazil." Josias's smile faded."It's a shame. Carol really liked him."

Karen sits on the sofa not realizing it belonged to the previous owner, "A store chain owner needs a matching residence.""Thank you."

"Don't tell me you've already met a hot neighbor to fill this apartment with kids!"Angela was momentarily embarrassed, but continued, "I don't know if he'll still give me children.

Hamilton watched his daughter playfully after dinner with Pedro. And a slight sadness hit his heart."Dad, dinner was amazing, we ate top-notch portions of pasta, and Chef Teixeira was very dedicated to bringing the best dishes. It seems like he's in love with one of the cooks," Daniela narrated dreamily.Hamilton just nodded.Daniela noticed the sinister silence, "Am I just going to keep blabbering nonstop?"Hamilton decided to speak up, "OK. Do you want to know my opinion, daughter?""Yes, Dad." Daniela sat beside him."I think you deserve more than being the wife of an apartment building owner for rent, located in a slum," Hamilton opined, looking deeply at his daughter.Daniela was taken aback. "Huh? What's this all about, Dad?""That's right, daughter. You're in love with someone who's going to stay here, managing this place, when you should take the opportunity to broaden your horizons."

"What happened?" Daniela wants to know what happened.So, before Felipe could answer, she followed his gaze and saw his dress shirt on the desk, with spilled coffee dripping to the floor."I accidentally spilled coffee," Felipe explained, feeling flustered, "I didn't want it to spill on the computer, so I moved my hand abruptly towards myself on impulse."Daniela nodded, understanding. However, she saw that coffee had also splashed on Felipe's dress pants.Does he intend to take them off too?Felipe, smiling seductively, guessed her mind, "No, I won't take off the pants. Could you go to the bathroom and get some paper towels, please?"Daniela snapped out of her depraved daydreams and quickly left.In the bathroom, she grabbed as many paper towels as she could, still thinking about the scene.She had a slight feeling that Felipe was freeballing, so he wouldn't take off the dress pants.Daniela, scolding herself and calling herself Jezebel, shook her head.

"Can I help you with something, buddy?""How's Frank doing?" Pedro smiled, trying to cheer up."Frank's doing well." Rodrigo pulled up a chair and sat down, "The little guy is going to grow up to be handsome like his father. I don't know why Nadia wants me to buy a rifle."Pedro chuckled. "It's to scare away the young girls who might fall for your son."Rodrigo smiled proudly, thinking about the day he'd find out his son was charming all the girls in the neighborhood."Anyway, you seem more upbeat now." Rodrigo didn't let Pedro off the hook."Okay, you're very curious!" Pedro teased, "I'm dating Daniela Lombardi. It's official now.""Oh, congratulations!" Rodrigo and Pedro high-fived."Thank you.

Pedro returned from Downtown to the Teodoro Building.Beto was waiting for him to talk about something he needed to know."Hi, Dad. What's with the look?"

The song "Shut Your Eyes" by Snow Patrol echoed through the lobby."What's the problem?" Pedro swallowed hard."I talked to your future father-in-law and he's not willing to accept you," Beto summarized the conversation."What did he say?" Pedro's eyes widened, "But this can't be serious! Why would he refuse?""He doesn't want his princess living in the building forever." Beto gestures around the room."HE can live here, why can't she?" Pedro tries to see the logic."Son, every father wants the best for his daughter. Fo

Chapter 3148 Josias Is Insane
Josias visits the Rocha Hotel since he didn’t have a day off for the staff. In the management room, Eugenio gathered David, Benjamin, and Sybil. “Why is that mere cook present at this meeting?” David asked disparagingly. “Because that’s how our boss ordered it,” Eugenio replied dryly. “I didn’t say anything and didn’t call this meeting, so if you’ll excuse me...” Benjamin and Sybil were horrified to see David leaving the meeting just like that. However, when he opened the door, David came face to face with his father. “David, where do you think you’re going?” “DAD!” David exclaimed, extremely surprised. “I didn’t know you were coming!” “Didn’t Eugenio tell you I was coming?” Josias asked with a scowl. David understood who the ‘boss’ was. Benjamin and Sybil felt vindicated. Josias sat down at the desk, taking Eugenio’s seat, while the manager remained humbly standing. “Very well,” Josias began the meeting in a formal tone, “I’m here just to make things crystal clear.

But the princess is Carol,” Mary responded, striking a serious pose.Melissa and Rodrigo laughed heartily. Mary is something else...“Rod, how has it been managing the café in your father’s absence?” Melissa asked seriously.Rodrigo served a baked chicken pastry with ketchup to Mary. “I'm getting by, Melissa. Josias was here earlier, more concerned about my loss than his own, as always. Isn’t he supposed to be resting?”Melissa nodded. “My husband is like that: he only relaxes when all of us are relaxed.”“An impossible mission because of certain people.”Neilton approached with the glass. “Who ordered a guava juice?”“I DID!” Mary grabbed the glass and went to a table.Melissa leaned forward, “Neil, Rod, how are Daryl and Diane?

Chapter 3146 We Need to Talk - Dad
At João Paulo’s house, he and Josias were about to have a significant conversation.“Walter, do you want to go with your mom to the kitchen?” João Paulo asked, looking at Helen. “I think she made some walnut cake.”“It was carrot cake,” Sandra replied, already getting up from the couch.“You got it.” Helen appeared and picked up Walter in her arms. “Let’s let Dad and Uncle Josias talk.”“Bye, Uncle!” Walter waved goodbye to Josias.“Bye-bye, I want a piece later!” Josias chuckled.Once alone with João Paulo, Josias became serious. “Don’t let anything or anyone ruin this family scenario, little brother.”“I’m fine. No one wants to ruin anything,” João Paulo replied casually.“Well, I hope David hasn’t caused you any trouble.”“He probably doesn’t even know I exist, man.” João Paulo shrugged.“But I stopped by Café Montanha and found out that the Vasquez family has replaced the Mountain family as the ‘annoying people.’”João Paulo sighed in disappointment. “Yeah.

Josias visits Café Montanha for a coffee and finds Rodrigo there. “Rod, how have you been?” Rodrigo is taken aback. “How am I? You’re the one who suffered a horrific loss recently!” “But you also lost your father. We’re in the same situation,” Josias explained as he sat down on a stool. “I’m okay, Josias. Life has a way of cheering me up. For example, I’m back at the diner after Thierry decided to take his place at the supermarket.” Rodrigo smiled. “What about the photography studio?” Josias smiled back. “It’s still going to operate, and Thierry will make periodic visits. But he’s going to appoint one of the staff to manage the studio.” Rodrigo served a pizza pastry to Josias. “Thank you. Well, I hope everything is alright between you two. I need to visit Rosemary and meet Jean Luc — is that the name of the baby?” “Yes, the name of the supermarket heir. Meanwhile, Frank will be here or somewhere else.” Josias interjected, “If Frank wants to work at Rocha Constructions, count

At the Rocha Mansion, Josias receives a visit from Benjamin. “How have you been, Ben? Any news about your parents?” The two embrace. “Actually, that’s what I want to talk about.” Benjamin scratches the back of his neck. The embrace breaks. “Let’s go to my office.” The two gentlemen enter Josias’s imposing office. “Any problems with Adolfo?” Josias asks, becoming serious. “Not yet, but I hope not to have any,” Benjamin replies with some sadness. “You know, Josias, what happened with your father made me think about my family, about how important it is for all of us to be together in the final moments.” “That’s true. João Paulo can tell you that better than I can.” “I think you can say it too. Vernon was the father you never had.” Benjamin clears his throat. “So, I’ve been looking into some hotels and realized there’s a demand at the Rocha Hotel in Victoria.” Josias looks at Benjamin, understanding where he’s going with this. “You want to go to Victoria to be close to your pare

Someone rings the doorbell at João Paulo’s house. The homeowner goes to answer after taking a shower and putting on clean clothes. But when he opened the door, João Paulo felt like slamming it in the visitor’s face. “Don’t be rude!” Erasmo exclaimed. “What do you want, you old bore?” João Paulo shot back. Erasmo barged into João Paulo’s foyer. “The mourning is over. Let’s pick up where we left off.” “Are you crazy? Who decides how long mourning lasts? We just got back from the trip!” “Not exactly, it’s been a day. Life goes on, my friend!” Erasmo replied mockingly. João Paulo remained serious. “But I don’t want to continue living this way, where fights and intrigues are the order of the day. Mr. Vasquez, you have a business to run, and I have a family to raise.” “But you found time to slap my son-in-law when he was here defending his family, didn’t you?” “Alan was extremely rude, but that was some time ago.” João Paulo frowned. “I don’t feel the same anger as before.” “So a

Chapter 3142 Let’s Launch Another Biography
At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan could hardly believe that the people were thinking about more intrigues and disputes. “Guys, don’t you understand that I even forgot the reason I slapped Uncle João Paulo?” “Ridiculous!” Erasmo gestured. “You just maintained respect because it was a difficult occasion. But now, the mourning is OVER!” “Do you think João Paulo will rest, dear?” Sofia asked, sitting next to him. Alan shook his head. “If Uncle João Paulo doesn’t want to rest, then he is truly despicable. But my dad is back in town. He wouldn’t dare to do that.” The news should have been uplifting, but the members of the Vasquez family merely exchanged silent glances. With Josias present, it’s quite likely that he will put a stop to their fighting. Alan turned to Olivia. “In the meantime, we should celebrate the recovery of my dear mother-in-law!” Olivia and Sofia smiled awkwardly because of the secret they were keeping. “That’s right, let’s celebrate life!” Erasmo wrapped his arm arou

Josias Rocha and his family returned to Lagoon City. Those who were waiting for them stayed in the mansion and greeted them cheerfully in the foyer. “WELCOME BACK!” Melissa, crying, embraced her parents, William, and the twins fervently. Josias greeted them with a light smile. “Where’s João Paulo?” William asked. “He went straight to his house. His kids needed to rest from the trip.” Melissa wiped her tears with her fingers. “Alan went straight to his mansion. Especially now that his mother-in-law has woken up from the coma.” “That was a scare; I thought we’d have two funerals,” Simeon commented. Everyone headed to the living room. “Is Paris very beautiful, Mom?” Mary asked. “Yes, sweetheart, it’s stunning. We’ll go shopping together another time, okay?” “Do you have pictures?” Ignacio asked anxiously. “Yes, son, we took some pictures.” Melissa sat on the couch, pulling out a package from her bag. Josias sat in the armchair, taking a deep breath. William approached him.

At Café Montanha, Daryl walks in for a coffee and finds Rodrigo at the counter while Neilton serves the others. “Hey, are we back to the old tradition?” “Don’t be a clown, man.” Rodrigo laughs. “Yes, Thierry is at the supermarket, as we agreed.” “Hi, Neil. Can you make me a cappuccino while I enjoy a natural sandwich?” Daryl places his order. “Sure thing, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton heads to the back. Daryl sits on the stool. “So, how do you feel after getting back to your element?” “I don’t regret at all helping my dear wife at the supermarket, Daryl,” Rodrigo admitted while preparing the natural sandwich. “I’m not talking about regrets.” Daryl joked. “But it’s undeniable that after Uncle Francisco’s passing, you prefer to stay here, carrying on the legacy he left.” “Just like Crystal Blue.” Rodrigo smiled. “Hey, I’m aware that you’re looking to open another restaurant in Sunset Village. Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
